Tree Service in Buffalo, NY

Buffalo is a city of mature trees, and that is exactly what makes tree work here its own kind of job. Big old maples, oaks, and lindens line the streets in North Buffalo, the West Side, Elmwood, and South Buffalo, and many have been standing since these neighborhoods were built. On tight city lots, with houses close together and wires running through the back alleys, taking a tree down or cutting one back safely takes planning and the right rigging, not a quick guess with a chainsaw.

Buffalo winters add to the job. Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie and the ice storms that come with it load up limbs until weak branches give way, so a tree that looked fine in October can turn into an emergency by January. We also see a lot of ash trees lost to the emerald ash borer across the city, which is why every job starts with an honest look at the tree’s health before anyone starts cutting. Meta Tree Service is out in Buffalo and the surrounding Erie County neighborhoods every week doing exactly this kind of work.
